SUMMARY:Systems design and optimization in electrified aviation: models\, m
 ethods\, and emerging insights with Dr. Gökçin Çınar
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Brahmal Institute Seminar Series\, we are deligh
 ted to host an upcoming talk on electrified aircraft and future aviation s
 ystems. A reception of tea and coffee will follow the seminar\, offering a
 n opportunity to continue the discussion.\n \nAbstract\nThe electrificati
 on of aircraft requires more than incremental changes to propulsion: it ca
 lls for a fundamentally new way of thinking about how aircraft\, propulsio
 n architectures\, power management systems\, and operations interact as a 
 unified whole. At the Integrated Design of Efficient Aerospace Systems (ID
 EAS) Laboratory at the University of Michigan\, we develop computational f
 rameworks that couple physics-based modeling\, multidisciplinary design op
 timization\, and systems engineering\, all accelerated by machine learning
 \, to address the challenges and opportunities of this evolving field.\nTh
 is seminar will show how we leverage these frameworks to rapidly explore t
 he complex trade-offs inherent in novel aircraft concepts. We will discuss
  recent technical results and insights from our research\, emphasizing via
 ble design strategies and architectures that demonstrate significant effic
 iency gains in electrified aircraft. Key topics will include trade-off ana
 lysis across vehicle configuration\, propulsion–power integration\, and 
 operational profiles\, illustrated with examples drawn from our open-sourc
 e design tools and current projects.\nAbout the speaker\nDr. Gökçin Çı
 nar is an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan\, where she di
 rects the Integrated Design of Efficient Aerospace Systems (IDEAS) Laborat
 ory. Her research advances computational systems design and optimization\,
  with an emphasis on future aircraft and propulsion concepts.\nDr. Çınar
  is the recipient of the 2025 AIAA Lawrence Sperry Award for pioneering co
 ntributions to electrified aircraft and sustainable aviation\, and has rec
 eived multiple best paper recognitions from AIAA and IEEE. She most recent
 ly served as Chair of the AIAA Electrified Aircraft Technology Technical C
 ommittee\, with longstanding service on the AIAA/IEEE Electric Aircraft Te
 chnologies Symposium (EATS). She earned her Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Aerospace E
 ngineering from Georgia Tech\, and her B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from
  Middle East Technical University.
